Shower & Balcony Sealing and Waterproofing in Sydney CBD
High-rise apartments and inner-city strata, where a single leak reaches the units below fast. Sealed at the source, in occupied units, with minimal disruption.
In the city everything is stacked, so a leak is never just one apartment's problem. We seal leaking showers and balconies across the Sydney CBD and inner-city high-rise, working in occupied units with minimal disruption and clear reporting for strata.
The local picture
CBD living is high-rise, and a leaking shower or tiled balcony on one level can show up two or three floors down. That makes finding the true source matter as much as the repair. Where the problem is not obvious, our leak detection service uses dye and flood testing and thermal imaging to confirm exactly where the water is coming from before anyone opens up a wall.
Most inner-city showers and balconies can be sealed over the existing tiles, which is a genuine advantage in an apartment where demolition means noise, dust and a lengthy strata process. Epoxy re-grouting, sealing and targeted re-waterproofing let us stop the leak in a single visit in most cases, with the room back in use inside 24 hours.
For owners corporations and building managers we provide written reports and photos, coordinate access with residents, and can run building-wide programmes where several units are affected. The goal is always the same: the least disruptive fix that actually stops the water.

Sydney CBD: common questions
Can you repair a leak in an occupied CBD apartment without major demolition?
Almost always. The large majority of inner-city shower and balcony leaks are sealed over the existing tiles, so there is no demolition, no skip bin and no long strata approval. Full re-waterproofing is the exception, and we scope it clearly before any work starts.
A leak is affecting several units in our building. Do you work with strata?
Yes. We work regularly with strata committees and building managers on inner-city high-rise. We can locate the source, provide written reports and photos for the owners corporation, and carry out repairs across multiple units in a coordinated programme.
